Subject: [PATCH] feat(codex): add gpt-5.5 and wire live model discovery into
 picker (#14720)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

OpenAI launched GPT-5.5 on Codex today (Apr 23 2026). Adds it to the static
catalog and pipes the user's OAuth access token into the openai-codex path of
provider_model_ids() so /model mid-session and the gateway picker hit the
live ChatGPT codex/models endpoint — new models appear for each user
according to what ChatGPT actually lists for their account, without a Hermes
release.

Verified live: 'gpt-5.5' returns priority 0 (featured) from the endpoint,
400k context per OpenAI's launch article. 'hermes chat --provider
openai-codex --model gpt-5.5' completes end-to-end.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/codex_models.py: add gpt-5.5 to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS + forward-compat
- agent/model_metadata.py: 400k context length entry
- hermes_cli/models.py: resolve codex OAuth token before calling
  get_codex_model_ids() in provider_model_ids('openai-codex')
